Not a big fan of Akrapovic. Sure in terms of quality they make the best exhaust but in terms of noise they're just meh

Might sound like that in videos. But all systems I have heard in real life (or owned) has sounded awesome. And absolutely no drone what so ever. It is never the loudest but always a great sound with epic build quality.

The video above shows the Akrapovic full titanium exhaust system including down pipes, remote valve and carbon end pipes. The system is almost ready and will be available for customers soon. The M2 in the video was also fitted carbon fiber mirror caps and a carbon fiber diffuser, both by Akrapovic. Other BMW M Peformance goodies visible are the M Performance coilovers (the car rides a lot lower, and it looks stunning) and the gloss black side gills and front grills.

For people who are interested in the Akrapovic, I am planning to collect your names and details to see if Akrapovic can create a specific advanced delivery for Bimmerpost members. I will start a separate topic about this in the coming days, when I have completely discussed the details with the headquarters in Slovenia.

It's a symphony!

Are those downpipes catted? Is that the max drop on the MPerformance suspension? Must be close...

So valve closed: outer tips are served. Valve open: all four tips are served. Right ?

If this happens to be correct, then note that on the 1M Akra it's just the other way around (see for example here).

Just heard that the white car on the video does not have the down pipes fitted.
